Experiencing the Korean War through a lens

Help

It has been 60 years since the outbreak of the Korean War, when the communist North invaded the American-backed South.

Former Associated Press photographer Max Desfor had a front-row seat in the action as he followed US, UN and South Korean forces.

His coverage earned him a Pulitzer Prize in 1951 and he shared some of his experiences at the Korean War Memorial in Washington.
